Hungarian MEP Suggests Pigs’ Heads on Border to Deter Invasion

A remark criticising Hungary’s lauded border defence against illegal migration has spurred a national politician to suggest pigs’ heads be placed on the country’s fences could be a more effective deterrent.

Mr Stroehlein criticised the country after officials placed carved vegetables at the border.

Despite the charity worker’s plea regarding the plight of refugees, the majority of migrants illegally entering Europe are not fleeing war. Many of those who left from Syria and Iraq are now seeking to leave Europe, dissatisfied with the level of benefits.

A fierce critic of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Mr Stroehlein has continued on Twitter to try to attract more attention to the Hungarian politician’s politically incorrect tweet. Mr Schopflin refuses to be intimidated, however, tweeting that he has “nothing to apologise for”.
